Wassily Kandinsky




Kandinsky was born in Russia and was considered to be the first abstract painter. Kandinsky began painting realistic images of scenes from around him but moved onto expressionism after art school.

Kandinsky aimed to illustrate life in his later more abstract paintings and I think this is achieved through his used of geometric shapes and bold colours. It is interesting to see his development from physical accuracy to completely abstract and the representations that come with it.
